This module implements maximum likelihood-based estimation (MLE) of
Gaussian regression models for finite-dimensional observations made on
infinite-dimensional processes.
The ProcessMLE class supports regression analyses on grouped data,
where the observations within a group are dependent (they are made on
the same underlying process). One use-case is repeated measures
regression for temporal (longitudinal) data, in which the repeated
measures occur at arbitrary real-valued time points.
The mean structure is specified as a linear model. The covariance
parameters depend on covariates via a link function.

class GaussianCovariance(ProcessCovariance):
r"""
An implementation of ProcessCovariance using the Gaussian kernel.
This class represents a parametric covariance model for a Gaussian
process as described in the work of Paciorek et al. cited below.
Following Paciorek et al [1]_, the covariance between observations with
index `i` and `j` is given by:
.. math::
s[i] \cdot s[j] \cdot h(|time[i] - time[j]| / \sqrt{(u[i] + u[j]) /
2}) \cdot \frac{u[i]^{1/4}u[j]^{1/4}}{\sqrt{(u[i] + u[j])/2}}
The ProcessMLE class allows linear models with this covariance
structure to be fit using maximum likelihood (ML). The mean and
covariance parameters of the model are fit jointly.
The mean, scaling, and smoothing parameters can be linked to
covariates. The mean parameters are linked linearly, and the
scaling and smoothing parameters use an log link function to
preserve positivity.
The reference of Paciorek et al. below provides more details.
Note that here we only implement the 1-dimensional version of
their approach.

class ProcessMLE(base.LikelihoodModel):
"""
Fit a Gaussian mean/variance regression model.
This class fits a one-dimensional Gaussian process model with
parametrized mean and covariance structures to grouped data. For
each group, there is an independent realization of a latent
Gaussian process indexed by an observed real-valued time
variable.. The data consist of the Gaussian process observed at a
finite number of `time` values.
The process mean and variance can be lined to covariates. The
mean structure is linear in the covariates. The covariance
structure is non-stationary, and is defined parametrically through
'scaling', and 'smoothing' parameters. The covariance of the
process between two observations in the same group is a function
of the distance between the time values of the two observations.
The scaling and smoothing parameters can be linked to covariates.
The observed data are modeled as the sum of the Gaussian process
realization and (optionally) independent white noise. The standard
deviation of the white noise can be linked to covariates.
The data should be provided in 'long form', with a group label to
indicate which observations belong to the same group.
Observations in different groups are always independent.
Parameters
----------
endog : array_like
The dependent variable.
exog : array_like
The design matrix for the mean structure
exog_scale : array_like
The design matrix for the scaling structure
exog_smooth : array_like
The design matrix for the smoothness structure
exog_noise : array_like
The design matrix for the additive white noise. The
linear predictor is the log of the white noise standard
deviation. If None, there is no additive noise (the
process is observed directly).
time : array_like (1-dimensional)
The univariate index values, used to calculate distances
between observations in the same group, which determines
their correlations.
groups : array_like (1-dimensional)
The group values.
cov : a ProcessCovariance instance
Defaults to GaussianCovariance.
